USA just do it. Talk one on one. You will save money on snacks and lunch that way too, as there will be 4 parties missing.

Talk is cheap but it's the only thing NK is willing to do. This whole thing is a farce. Maybe everybody should just give up on the six party talks and blockade NK so they can't ship out any arms. Let them rot in their "paradise."

President Obama has no choice but to do what North Korea wants - he said he would during the election didn't he? Not that it will change anything of course. North Korea will still pursue nukes and will be all giddy about forcing the evil US to the peace table. But, Obama will give everyone at the UN a warm-fuzzy by being nice to the communinist dictator Kim Jong-il. There will be no change in North Korea - that you can believe in.

Barack should negotiate with North Korean's Supreme Leader, but continue to freeze out Bill O reilly.

It seems that America is reluctant to speak with North Korea. Moreover, the Korea Times reported two days ago that South Korea and America have completed plans to handle North Korea's collapse. That is, America is anticipating the collapse of North Korea, and you do not speak with someone whose collapse you are anticipating. In such a situation, North Korea is left with no choice but to retain her means of deterrence and enhance them.
